SYNOPSIS
Otoha returns to her childhood hometown as a war correspondent, hoping to document the conflict between government forces and rebels. What she finds instead is the unfinished business of her past. Years ago, her best friend Jiro vanished near the river without explanation, joining a list of children lost to old folklore and whispered warnings. Now separated from her crew during an assignment, Otoha discovers herself drawn deeper into the town's shadowed alleys by an unseen presence. Every street corner feels purposeful, every turn deliberate, as if something knows exactly where she is and where she needs to go. The line between childhood trauma and present danger blurs as Otoha confronts whether Jiro's disappearance was truly an accident, and whether whatever took him still waits by the water's edge. This haunting one-episode piece combines personal dread with supernatural tension, asking how far back the roots of a town's darkness truly run.
